Process and Application Of Chopped Strand Mat:
Chopped strand mat is a kind of reinforcing product that made from continuous fiberglass strand, which is chopped into a certain length, then distributed in a random and non-directional position, finally, bond together with binders, applied in the production of FRP process such as hand lay-up, mold press, winding and mechanical forming, etc., the main downstream products are various panels, boats, sets of bathroom equipment, automobile parts, winding pipes, cooling towers, and vehicle roofs, etc.

Feature of Chopped Strand Mat:
Consistent thickness and stiffness
Rapid impregnating and good compatibility with resin
Superior wet through with less air trap
Good mechanical properties and high strength of parts
Good cover mold, suitable for modeling complex shapes.
Advantages of Chopped Strand Mat
Fluorine-free without boron glass make products with excellent
Anti-corrosion properties;
Quickly wet out with resins, good mold performance, easily bubbles out;
Evenly distribution of fiber and binder;
Finished products with high mechanical strength, and efficiently retain the strength against boiled water.
Usage Of Chopped Strand Mat:
The Usage of EMC 450g Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat for epoxy resin
Automobile accessories
Plumbing fittings
Chemical anti-corrosive pipeline
Cooling tower basin
Boats and ships
Building
Furniture
It’s mainly used in hand lay-up, filament winding, and compression molding processes. The typical FRP products are panels, tanks, boats, complete sets of sanitary equipment, automotive parts, cooling towers, pipes, etc. Uniform thickness, softness, and hardness good.
Storage And Packaging:
Each roll is packed in a polyester bag and then put into a cardboard box or plastic woven bag.
The weight of each rill is between 20—85kg.
The rolls are to be horizontally placed and could be in bulk or on a pallet.
Optimum storage conditions are between the temperature of 5—35℃ and with the humidity between 35%—65%.
The Product should be used within 12 months from the time of delivery and remain in its original packaging until just prior to use.
